why is john mccain so angry? 40 years after the vietnam p.o.w.s came home, the most famous of them is angrier than ever. why is america, why are we fighting the vietnam war all over again in the united states senate? the ticked off vitriol against chuck hagel, what is it about? is it for show? is it about something hagel said in the cloakroom? is it the unfairness of vietnam itself, that some went and some didn't? is it about johnson's inability to win that war or end it? what burns so deeply in john mccain these days? it seems to excite those who knew nothing about vietnam but want to replay it. we dig into the deep well of resentment burning in john mccain's patriotic heart. a resentment not against the north vietnamese who imprisoned and tortured him all those years, not against george w. bush and his political henchmen who tried to stain mccain's reputation back in 2000, but against a guy who fought against fear and rallied against wounds just like he did in the same army of america's long nightmare in vietna

i'm want here to relitigate john's trial. he pled guilty to one instance of giving the name to a cia operative. many of us who signed the letter believe that this should be put in perspective. john is a cia officer who served very bravely for his country for more than a decade overseas. in some of the most dangerous places of the world. he most notably led the team that went in and captured abu zubada in 2002. the first senior al qaeda figure captured after 9/11. the capture of el zubada was critical to the line of captures that ultimately led to the death of osama bin laden. secondly, there is precedent here for commutation of this offense. four years ago -- scooter libby had leaked the name of a cia officer valley plame to the press. i would say he did it deliberately and i would say maliciously. that did badly damage a cia operational capability. yet, his sentence was commuted. let's put john's situation in some perspective. does the punishment fit the crime here? i think he has already been punished a lot. he has incurred
